Altaïr House  / Bourgeois / Lechasseur architectes - Windows, Facade
© Adrien Williams

Text description provided by the architects. This house, whose name refers to the brightest star in the Aquila constellation, is located in Cap-à-l'Aigle, in the region of Charlevoix. Altaïr means "The Flying Eagle." What makes the house stand out is its "V" shape and long facades that are suspended over nature. While discrete from the street and closed to the north, it unfolds toward the river, as though to take flight.
